SEX: Sacred or Common, Special or Granted

Sex, and talking about sex, is always interesting isn't it?  I mean something that "some" people do, "most" people think about is like whoa! when it comes to a forum on the topic.  I called this blog sacred or common; special or granted because I believe that sex has become common, usual, and very much so taken for granted.  Sex is just another one of those things you do almost.  Wash my car, pick up the kids, go to work, jog for 30 minutes, have sex, and catch Jersey Shore.  The magic of sex is sacred and special and no matter how many pron sites are bought and sold and videos and music videos and magazines and all sorts of media that destroy the beauty of sex, we can not deny that little voice in us saying (this is private).

Culture all over the world is varied when it comes to sex.  It has always fascinated me that the cultures with the most technology and money treat sex so much differently than those who are more rural and basic in perspective.  In fact those two positions of developed versus underdeveloped influence much of the norms that exist in cultures.  SEX should be special.  It should be sacred.  It should be lifted as something that has value and meaning.  From sex the world is replenished; new generations carry our names and our themes and learn from our mistakes.  But sex is just desire, pleasure.  When sex is just desire, and when we are led by only our desires we lead the world into a darkness.  A darkness void of reason and a darkness void of morality.  The senses can not impact the world, the clarity of a mind with right priorities willing to die can impact the world.  Sex as just desire can never bring happiness, it will only in the most ubiquitous way add to your misery of finding yourself and your purpose in this life.

Finally look at the act:  a male is placing his penis into the vagina of a woman.  While this very simple action is performed more than that physical experience is felt, there is an entire spiritual experience of that deep connection that is taking place.  Atheist or believer, you can not deny that truth.  Sex is more than physical connection it is a meeting place for two souls who are willing to mesh into the other and speak in a language that words can't describe.  Treat sex as a treasure not the morning newspaper that's just there every morning to pick up, read, and then throw away waiting for the next morning.
